My favorite Printer Gandi 3150x2

[cwb143]

Trying to setup a 400x800dpi profile and it keeps printing
duplicates of the calibration chart. Any ideas on what causes that? And will it do the same for 600x1200 dpi. I normally run in 300x600 and don't have these kinds of problems.

Thx

Gandi software FTW!

After you change the resolution on the Gandi, you have to restart the printer, otherwise you will get duplicate ghost and weird stretching results.

What he said! /\

I was so frustrated by this at first, then heard about the restart and it worked.

I did not know this about the gandi's, is this just for profiling, or for running jobs as well? What do you do if you have to run different types of jobs at different resolutions as part of your regular workflow?

If you change the DPI, you just need to turn your Head I/O off then back on. You don't have to restart the whole printer.

I should protect myself. I know this works for my 3150, but I don't have a drop down menu for my dpi settings like the new machines. I have to change the dpi, which I never do, by doing a linux command. On my 1224 HDC, I have a drop down menu but I never have to change it. I run everything at 1200 x 480. It doesn't make a bit a difference in speed if I run at a lower or higher resolution. Let us know if this works on your 3150x2 since you're changing DPI alot.

Yeah its a little different for the 3150x2. I/o boards wasnt enough. I shut down the software and started it back up without turning the machine off. and it worked. Now if I want to go back down to 300x600 you dont have to shut anything down. weird.
